RE: hang on and climbing sticks
All mine are hangons and climbing sticks except for twoladder stands that I inherited from a friend, I've got about 15 altogether...enough. SportsmansGuide usually has good 20' sticks for about $35, then at the end of the season I'll usually find good stands on sale for $70-$80....I've been buying about 3 a season but will probably stop after this season since I have enough for my needs......I just need to repalce the last two really crappy stands I had bought at Dick's Sporting Goods that were $25 each. Then I also have two climbers, one of which is a cheapy Ascent that I usually leavein the woods (I only hunt private property) ....sometime's if I've been busted in a stand I'll use the climber 20 yards away and a little higher......
